He is a British National and thankfully his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

Isn't it amazing though that within minutes of this incident being announced, some people are looking for someone up top to blame.

The injuries sustained start me wondering about kit availability. Lets hope it's not yet another round of 'chest armour / Arm'd seats not available'.

We're at war for crying out loud. These unfortunate type of incidents happen. It doesn't always have to be deficiencies or poor kit or insufficient training that resulted in somebody getting hurt. Maybe it was the fault of the man who actually aimed the weapon and pulled the trigger!

Now that's a radical thought.
